Must be a dilemma most unique:
HeliHub has heard that one or more of the current Doctor Heli fleet have become contaminated by radioactive material as a result of flying too close to the Fukushima nuclear plant which had the devastating failure resulting from March’s tsunami.
After being passed as fit-to-fly by the authorities, Doctor Heli (or possibly one of their current operators) purchased a Geiger counter – the equipment to measure radioactivity – and the results they found gave them sufficient concern to immediately condemn the airframe(s).
Industry sources suggest that the affected helicopter(s) are to be buried in concrete.
I seem to recall we had a thread covering some of the helicopter responses to the earthquake and subsequent power plant damage. Weren't there other helicopters operating in proximity to the plant?
